BRITISH UNEMPLOYED. ,
" (To the Editor.) Sir, —In a recent editorial you writes "Unless by some miracle of organisation aided by improvement in world trade .Britain can find employment for all her people, there must be immigration." There are over a million unemployed in? Britain. to-Gay, and there is land enough within the .United Kingdom to provide all the foodstuffs needed for the entire population. Members of parliament have stated that if the whole of the land of .Britain were cultivated as intensively as that of Denmark, our Home Country might support on home grown food, twice the 45 millions' which now make' up her population. In view of these facts I would ask, is it a miracle that is required or is it merely the removal of the barriers that lie in the way of -access to the land? But perhaps that would be a "miracle!"—l am,.etc.,
FREE LAND,
